The Walking Liberty Silver Half Dollar is widely considered to be the most beautiful silver coin ever minted. It was minted from 1916 through 1947 with none struck in 1922, 1924, 1925, 1926, 1930, 1931 and 1932. In 1916 new designs were selected for the Dime, Quarter and the Half Dollar. Both the Dime and Half Dollar were designed by Adolph A Weinman and the beautiful Standing Liberty Quarter was designed by Herman NacNeil. The Mercury Dime was minted through 1945, the Standing Liberty Quarter was minted through 1930 and the Walking Liberty Silver Half Dollar lasted longer and was minted through 1947. The initials “AAW” can be seen (on coins Very Good or better) just under the eagle’s wing-tip on the reverse of the beautiful coin. The Mint-Mark (on Denver and San Francisco coins) is just below the end of the pine branch on the left side of the reverse. However in 1916 and part of 1917, the Mint Mark was on the obverse (just under “IN GOD WE TRUST”). You are bidding on a rare 1938-D Silver Walking Liberty Half Dollar that grades "Fine" with no problems. Only 491,600 were minted (third lowest mintage of the Walking Liberty Half Dollars) and some were later melted for the silver. Only the 1921 and 1921-D had lower mintages than the 1938-D. This could be a nice addition to your silver collection or hoard. NO RESERVE!!! VERY LOW OPENING
